Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet or sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl at 20-second intervals until melted.
    Step 1 - Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl at 20-second intervals until melted.
  3. Cream the melted butter and brown sugar together in a large bowl or stand mixer, beating until smooth and creamy. Next, add the egg yolks and vanilla, followed by the salt, baking soda, cinnamon, honey, and xanthan gum. Scrape the bowl as needed, beating everything until incorporated.
    Step 4 - Scrape the bowl as needed, beating everything until incorporated.
  4. Mix in the flour followed by the old-fashioned oats, mixing until combined. Stir in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries by hand.
    Step 5 - Mix in the flour followed by the old-fashioned oats, mixing until combined.
  5. Scoop the dough using a 1 ½ tablespoon (medium-size) cookie scoop. Place cookies 2-3 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets. If desired, top with additional white chocolate chips and cranberries. Lightly press down on the top of each cookie to flatten slightly, then brush each cookie with a bit of milk before baking to help in browning.
    Step 8 - Scoop the dough using a 1 ½ tablespoon (medium-size) cookie scoop. Place cookies 2-3 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets. If desired, top with additional white chocolate chips and cranberries. Lightly press down on the top of each cookie to flatten slightly, then brush each cookie with a bit of milk before baking to help in browning.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies should spread slightly with the top and edges just beginning to turn lightly brown. Allow cookies to rest on the pan for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to sprinkle with powdered sugar and finish cooling.
    Step 9 - Bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies should spread slightly and lose their doughy shine; the top and edges should just begin to turn lightly brown. Allow cookies to rest on the pan for 2-3 minutes
  7. Enjoy warm with a glass of cold milk, or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
